Should have gone striper fishing.... :smt012

Got OTW by 9:30, Markely Cove, minnows, just in case it's really slo, it was...

Fish are down deep, 80', got a few small ones dancing drop shot on them and minnows.

A few pbers, working hard for not much,  Beautiful out there, but very slo....

My thankful moment came on the way home...

Winding my way out on 128 doing about 35mph with cars on my arse...

Come around a cruve and here is a mercedes passing a another car doing about 60...

 And is in my lane   :smt103

I don't know how we missed each other,

Pulled over and took a walk and thought how lucky I was to be going home to my family in one piece.

Beautiful lake scenery!  Glad that you're driving slowly and safely.  Thanks for the report and pictures Don.

You've gota love it! Its typical the idiot whos driving like a bat out of hell and passing cars riding peoples bumpers, being an ass and almost causing an accident,10 minutes later they're two cars in front of you stuck behind a Semi. Its like that eveytime I drive Hwy 20 especially between Willits and Fort Bragg.

Too bad there isn't a shark shield for idiot drivers, I'd buy one in a second!

But, a miss is as good as a mile Don. Fish or no fish, it looks like you still had a nice day OTW.

I'm glad you're Ok, Danglin...
people freakin drive like some maniacs there... I don't know how those bikers stay alive... :smt011
I wish Markely has a kayak discount... :smt012 It would be a lot closer than Capell...
by the way, I went to White slough this afternoon & got only one small LMB, so you did much better than me... :smt009

Markely is steep $$$,  not to mention, ya have to use a different ramp per water being down, and it's a little hike to park your car. But, Time was a wasting, and I like being instantly in the Narrows.

That Damm mercedes, I don't scare easily, and have been in plenty of " Bad Spots ",

But this was different, come around a corner, and there is Death...

It was like ...

  " Well, This is it.... "   

Still defied the laws of physics that we did not crash Head on....

 Celebrated with a Nice Family Day....  :smt004
